You can access your services through the applicationContext object that's implicitly available in views. Example:

<%= applicationContext.headerService.doSomething() %>

    Great, you told him how to do something horrible. – Gregg Jul 09 '12 at 21:35

    I agree with your comment that it's bad practice. Fine. It's still useful to know how to do it. Sometimes, it's a convenient shortcut; a great example is the default `index.gsp` grails generates with `create-app` which uses this technique to get access to the `pluginManager`. – ataylor Jul 09 '12 at 22:33
